## Resource

Galway’s wind farms are poised to generate nearly five million euros in rates for 2026, making up almost 11.5% of the county council’s commercial revenue — a national trend where wind energy could bring in nearly 75 million euros across all counties, with nine councils seeing wind power account for over 10% of their rates. This surge underscores wind energy’s dual role: powering communities while fueling local budgets, with Wind Energy Ireland pushing for further development right here in Galway.
